Mrs Payne would like to say...
Important information!
From Tuesday 5th January, Year 5 work will be online via the website. This work (as from next week) will be exactly the same work we will be teaching to key worker children in school. Maths and English work will be updated on a daily basis. Please complete as much work as you can. Do not worry if you have not got enough time - Try to complete as much of your maths and English lessons every day! Thank you parents and children for trying your best in these very difficult circumstances!
Remember to click on the links below for additional work should you manage to complete everything I post. Phew!
And finally... your afternoons should be fun and creative so... go outside when you get chance and embrace any fine days we may get. Help with the garden, go on a bike ride or draw/ paint/ make something amazing!
Below the tasks, I have posted the QR code to log into our year group Seesaw page.
Hope you've all had a great half term!

This Spring term in maths, we will be continuing to focus on the place value of numbers to 1,000,000. We will be looking at the importance of decimal numbers as well as rounding, ordering and comparing decimal digits to 1 and 2 decimal places. We will also be revising our mental arithmetic skills on a weekly basis as well as looking more closely at different kinds of 2D and 3D shapes and their properties.
